So since I've switched to vim 7, on all of my workstations, I've had this problem where whenever a file starts with lines that start with "#", it makes the file type detection fail to work.Does anyone have any idea what might be causing that?

is there possible to change the appearance of the left "number" column, to put a | at the end or something ?

shl

themolester: ffstag: what exactly does it detect incorretly? what is it really, and what does vim think it is?ion_bidon: not that I know of, no. you can make the background color of the number column different, so that it looks distinct though.

hey, the vim help file says that !r !date<NL>-join will exec date in the shell then write it to the current buffer, then join that to the previous line. it does not, but this is what i want to do. how do I do that? :)

shl

godling: replace <nl> with <cr>godling: actually no. you have a ! too much in theregodling: the <nl> may be correct

godling: yeah, after reading the FULL help message, I see that it says: To insert a <NL> use CTRL-V CTRL-J.

godling

duhheh:)

shl

you could also use :exec "r!date" | -j

godling

sweetless use of ctrl :)thanks

shl

ion_bidon: so if you are in gui, use :hi LineNr guibg=darkgray or in console something like :hi LineNr ctermbg=7

ion_bidon

shl: thanks for the tips :)

shl

ion_bidon: oh cool, you're still here :)

ion_bidon

yeah, sorry I wasn't there soonerI am looking for a nice TODO list plugin; I know about todolist.vim, but it's quite buggyif someone know any plugin for this, please let me knowshl: do you use numbers ? if yes, what's the foreground color that you use ?yellow is the default

shl

ion_bidon: I don't use numbers anymore. if you compile with :make and use the quickfix window, they are not needed imho. also 40G goes to line 40. what else do you need?

ion_bidon

shl: I see; I might disable numbers by default; :make works only with compiled languages ?

shl

works with anything that produces output with filenames and line numbers
